Say goodbye to grainy footage

Nest Cam Outdoor offers Google’s highest resolution yet, with crisp and clear daytime footage.1 See rich color and details, even in low light, and see in the dark with night vision. An ultra-wide, ultra-tall, 152-degree diagonal field of view lets you see more in every frame. Whether you’re checking the driveway or scanning your side yard, you’ll be able to see more of the details that matter.

Built to perform, rain or shine

Designed for durability, Nest Cam Outdoor is made from weather-resistant materials that stand up to the elements. Its wired connection ensures a consistent, 24/7 power supply with no need to recharge or replace batteries. Subscribe to Google Home Premium, and you’ll have the peace of mind of continuous video recording as well. And in case of a Wi-Fi outage, you’ll get one hour of local backup storage, so you won’t miss important moments – it’s one of the best reasons to get a wired outdoor security camera system for your home.

Seamless design and integration

The new Nest Cam doesn’t just perform well – it looks good doing it. Made with 26% recycled plastic and 100% plastic-free packaging, the camera is available in a range of subtle colors to blend in with your home’s exterior., Access your Nest Cam Outdoor’s live feed on your Google TV Streamer, Pixel Tablet, Nest displays, and more.

Privacy you can count on

Security starts with trust, and Nest Cam is designed with privacy and user control at its core to give you confidence in how your video is stored, accessed, and shared. Two-step verification ensures that your account is secure, and an LED status light lets you know when the camera is recording.

Unlock new levels of personalization with a Google Home Premium subscription

A subscription to Google Home Premium lets you turn everyday recordings into meaningful insights. The Standard plan can help you solve the mystery of your patio furniture being moved: A familiar face alert lets you know your kids were in the backyard. With the intelligence of Google Home, event descriptions – available with the Advanced plan – can give you even more clues: The kids moved it, then they began their soccer game.

Overlaid in the bottom portion of the image is a smartphone notification from a smart home app. The notification has a house icon and says, 'Animal seen • Now,' with the camera location labeled as 'Garden.'

The Advanced plan also lets you do some detailed digging. Want to know who’s been nibbling on your garden greens? It’s unlikely to be your kids this time. 24/7 continuous video recording and search your video history mean you can ask “Did something eat my plants?” in the Google Home app and catch your bunny thieves in the act. Search the event summaries to find out when it’s buffet time so you can respond accordingly.

Go back in time to find what you need in the present

It’s not just about catching things in the moment. Six hours of event video previews with 10-second clips are included with your wired outdoor security camera system. When paired with a Google Home Premium subscription, the new Nest Cam Outdoor also gives you intelligent playback. With the Advanced plan of Google Home Premium, type in a question and find the answer in easily scannable event summaries, without having to review hours of footage. For example:

“A rabbit was seen digging in your raised garden bed at 5:45 AM.”

“At 10:45 AM, the recycling bin was rolled away.”

This kind of detail helps you respond constructively – whether that means rabbit-proofing your garden or telling your neighbor there’s been a mix-up.

Or maybe you need to find something from last month. An Advanced plan of Google Home Premium unlocks up to 60 days of event-based history and 10 days of 24/7 continuous video recording, making it easy to search your camera history and get a daily summary of recorded events. With event descriptions, you'll see more detailed descriptions of events in your activity feed. Explore the benefits of the Advanced plan for Google Home Premium for 30 days with the purchase of Nest Cam Outdoor.

Your home is where life happens. Knowing that your camera is keeping an intelligent eye on the outside, day and night, lets you focus on what’s important inside.
